Private Equity firms have invested vast sums in ABA service delivery organizations.  Results have varied.  In the current discussion, we will trace the history of this development, discuss pros and cons for entering into such agreements, and describe ways practitioners should protect themselves and their clients if they are going to enter into such relationships.

-

Learning Objectives:

1. Attendees will describe a service delivery model in keeping with Private Equity backing.
2. Attendees will describe elements of practice that must be maintained by practitioners and never signed away in a contract.
3. Attendees will describe benefits and drawbacks to entering  into such relationships.
